Jimmy, Jeanna & Jill,
I'm still in shock. Words will never be enough to let you know how sorry I am. I'm grateful for all the memories. She was a 2nd Mom to me since Kindergarten. She let me move in to her house when I needed to and she help me get a job when I needed one. Dad & Mom even came to visit me in North Carolina when I needed some cheering up. She will be missed. My love and prayers to all of you.
